Swaddling of baby - reg
My son is 2 month 15 days old . For sleeping at night we use to swaddle the baby with cotton cloth and he sleeps nicely for 5 to 6 hours , in between we use to wake him up for feeding . During morning time we are not swaddling the baby and he sleeps in swing as well as in bed but not for continuously as he always use to move his hands and leg and waked up . So to avoid this disturbance at night we use to swaddling him at night time . My question is this swaddling is safe and how long we can continue this ? Have read some article stating to avoid swaddling . So kindly please advice .
